John Trapp on Nehemiah 6:15

In the twenty and fifth day of the moneth Elul] Which was their ſixth moneth, anſwering, moſt what,Beda. to our Auguſt. This (ſaith one) anſwered both unto the ſix dayes of Gods working to make the World, after which a reſt followed, and to the everlaſting reſt in Heaven after ſix ages of the World, ſpent in toil and labour!

In fifty and two dayes] A very ſhort time for the diſpatch of ſo great a work. But neſcit tarda molimina Spiritus Sancti gratia. God was much ſeen herein: and the Enemies courage much quailed.
